This edited collection explores how the New Testament, specifically the four canonical Gospels, negotiate the Roman imperial world.
Within this volume, scholars from a variety of interdisciplinary contexts come together, examining a particular aspect of the New Testament’s complex relationship with the Roman Empire. By incorporating literary studies, gender criticism, Jewish studies, and disability studies into their analysis, the essays herein provide fresh readings of these foundational texts. Jillian D. Nelson and Adam Winn demonstrate through this collection that the Roman imperial world functions as a critical context for scholarship on the New Testament, yielding new and exciting perspectives on the Gospel narratives.
Jillian D. Nelson is Adjunct Instructor for Texas Christian University.
Adam Winn is the S. Louis and Ann W. Armstrong Professor and Chair of the Department of Biblical and Religious Studies at Samford University
